Cricket: Amla sets new South African record with 311 not out Cricket: Amla sets new South African record with 311 not out Tweet Share Hashim Amla became the first South Africa batsman to score 300 in a Test match when he reached the landmark against England on the fourth day of the first Test at The Oval here on Sunday. In the process he broke the previous South Africa individual Test innings record of team-mate AB de Villiers, who made 278 not out against Pakistan in Abu Dhabi in November 2010. Amla was on 311 not out when South Africa captain Graeme Smith declared his side's first innings on a mammoth 637 for two; a lead of 252 runs. In all, Amla faced 529 balls and struck 35 fours in what was the 29-year-old's 15th Test century, which far exceeded his previous personal highest of 253 not out against India at Nagpur in 2010.

After an unflattering start, it was in his fourth Test outing against New Zealand a year and half following his debut, that he scored a massive 149 to make his mark. Amla was symbolic of Test batsmen of yore who bid their time to build long innings. It often forced him into an ultra defensive mode, carefully choosing deliveries to entertain his willow with, a weakness bowlers initially suspected. He was given time to iron out flaws just like his South African side circa 2006. It took another 11 Tests since that 149 for Amla to post a second ton, once again facing New Zealand at home in late 2007 at Johannesburg. It was the first of two consecutive hundreds, opening floodgates in the process. Centuries in India and England a year later marked his adoption to the highest level, atoning for poor displays in those very foreign soils earlier in his career. It also sparked an ODI call-up against Bangladesh in 2008, a position he hasn't relinquished since.

As South Africa returned to being in and among the best in all formats by 2009, Amla's presence in the middle-order has been one of the ingredients of resurgence. However, the monk-like cricketer hit his purple patch in 2010, scoring 1000 plus runs with a staggering average of around 75. His consistency in both, Tests and ODIs is the biggest strength of his cricketing repertoire. Amla took his awe-inspiring form for the next couple of years in ODIs as well as Tests. In 2012, he became the first ever South African to score a triple ton, when he scored 311 at the Oval. He continues to be prolific in all the formats of the game, making him a truly great, modern-day legend. Fast Facts Hashim Amla became the first South African of Indian ancestry to represent the Proteas. Between 2008 and 2010, Amla scored 19.79% of South Africa’s ODI runs, third-most for a team behind Zaheer Abbas (21%) and Ryan ten Doeschate (29%).

In 2012, Amla became the first-ever South African to score a triple hundred by making 311 not out against England at The Oval. Against England v South Africa: Hashim Amla now 'an awesome batsman' - BBC Sport BBC Sport England v South Africa: Hashim Amla now 'an awesome batsman' By Marc Higginson BBC Sport at The Oval 22 Jul 2012 Read more about sharing. Hashim Amla Hashim Amla created history when he became the first South African to score a Test triple hundred in the first Test against England at The Kia Oval. The 29-year-old came to the crease with his team struggling on 1-1, and when they declared almost two days later he had scored 311 not out and helped them to a potentially match-winning 637-2. He faced 529 balls in an innings that spanned almost 15 hours and contained 35 fours, adding 259 with Graeme Smith for the second wicket and an unbroken 377 with Jacques Kallis for the third.

Former England batsman and Test Match Special summariser Geoffrey Boycott "I thought Hashim played marvellously well. He reminds me of Mohammad Yousuf from Pakistan. "I don't mean just in his appearance, but in the way he bats. He looks cool, calm, collected and unruffled. Hashim Amla at The Oval Runs: 311 not out Time at crease: 13 hours 10 minutes Fours: 35 Strike-rate: 58.79 "He bats in a way that gives very little hope for the bowlers because he is pretty tight in his defence, his technique is good and he plays the same way at the start of his innings as he does at the end of it. "When he first came into the game, he had a flourish - a loop to his batting - but he has ironed that out and has got better and better. He has had a brilliant year and a half. "He now opens in South Africa's one-day squad, so he has a wide range of shots. He plays well off the front foot and his back foot shots are excellent. If you bowl them on his hips, he plays those easily too.

"Quality players like him have good concentration and patience. If you don't get them early, it is hard work. "That is the way it should be: quality players making it hard work for the bowlers. The kid is a good batsman. He has a wide range of shots and a good defence - it's that simple." Ex-South Africa captain and all-rounder Shaun Pollock "Becoming the first South African to score a triple century was a wonderful achievement for Hashim. "However, as a player, I don't think you worry about records too much, although it is a wonderful thing to be able to tick off. I think he will be more happy with the way he played and has set this game up for South Africa with a big score. "These are really exciting times for him, and it shows how good he is and the powers of concentration he possesses. He is a fantastic player who has come into his own. "He works hard on his tactics and method of playing and he sticks to that. In the one-day format, he came on to the scene and we thought he was not really suited to that format.

"But he has adapted his game and has found a method that works for him in both Test and one-day matches. He has developed into an awesome batsman."

He was reared in a middle-class home and sent to the highly regarded Durban High School, which is also the alma mater of Lance Klusener and Barry Richards. His elder brother, Ahmed Amla, was also a professional cricketer, having made his debut two years earlier than Hashim, and went on to captain the Dolphins. Hashim Amla Early years and domestic career Upon graduating from Durban High School and impressing on the youth circuit, Amla made his debut for his provincial team, the KwaZulu Natal Dolphins, soon captaining South Africa at the 2002 Under-19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand, leading his team to the final. During his formative years, former Western Province captain and coach Hylton Ackerman had been influential in Amla's development, first spotting his talent and honing his skills during his coaching career. His promise led him to being appointed captain of KwaZulu-Natal at the young age of 21. Amla was cited as a future captain of South Africa ever since his first class years. Amla moved from the Dolphins to Cape Cobras in 2013.

Amla has also had four spells playing county cricket in England, for Essex in 2009, Nottinghamshire in 2010, Surrey in 2013 and Derbyshire in 2015.

Making his debut in Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on 28 November 2004, he initially made a slow start to his career, with his technique having been criticized after scoring 36 runs in the 2004 series against England.

After honing his technique and working on his skills with the Dolphins, for whom he regularly top-scored in the South African domestic circuit, he proved his critics wrong in 2006 as he scored a comeback 149 against New Zealand at Newlands, Cape Town, helping guide South Africa to a match-saving draw.

During his stay at the club, he scored two centuries in two Championship matches, including a match-saving 181 on his debut, the highest score by an Essex debutant, as well as 111 runs off 107 in his first Pro40 match, against Sussex. Essex fans had warmed to him throughout his stay, affectionately calling him "W.G" in reference to W.G. Grace. During England's 2009–2010 tour of South Africa, Amla was an integral member of the side throughout the series, scoring a crucial century in the first Test at Centurion and contributing important innings during the rest of the series.

The first test was a poor one for Amla scoring 2 and 5 as South Africa still won comfortably. In the following test he scored 44 and 41 as the match was drawn, he scored 5 and 25 in the final test match as South Africa won by seven wickets. In the three match ODI series against Zimbabwe, Amla scored 110 as South Africa gave Zimbabwe 351 to win and South Africa won the match by 64 runs.

In the third ODI Amla scored 119* as the rest of the South African order collapsed around him and the team only managed 228, however South Africa won the match by just two runs courtesy of some superb death bowling yorkers from Rusty Theron.

Hashim Amla Dean Jones controversy During a Test match between South Africa and Sri Lanka on 7 August 2006, Australian TEN Sports commentator Dean Jones referred to Amla as a "terrorist" after he had taken a catch; after incorrectly assuming that broadcasting switched to a commercial break, he had said "The terrorist gets another wicket". The broadcast was aired around the world, including South Africa, and he was subsequently widely condemned by South African fans, players and several former cricketers and commentators, leading to the channel terminating its contract with Jones.
